Frost and snow

Song Lan deceived Heaven, and quickly hid with A-Qing who was in a coma.He set up another labyrinth in the ruined temple near the mass grave to cover up the secrets, in order to avoid the next divine thunder and heavenly punishment.

From that night onwards, Song Lan buried herself in a tomb inside the mass grave, in addition to relieving A-Qing's soul for an hour a day, absorbing and refining the evil spirit here, in order to restore her own soul.

For the first two days, A-Qing just fell asleep every day, and then she woke up for a longer time every day, and gradually she was able to get up and eat.Song Lan had another task to go down the mountain to find food.Anyway, A-Qing's body was bred by that vicious couple, so it was reasonable to get some food.It's just that he has always been good at hiding his whereabouts, so he took it away and left, which frightened the family to panic every day, offering incense and kowtow every day.

After A-Qing woke up, her body became stronger day by day.Although she was once a remnant soul, the events of her life only left some fragmented fragments in her mind, and she spoke upside down and didn't understand the truth, and she couldn't recognize the dumb priest who accompanied her every day who is it.

But she instinctively got close to Song Lan, not afraid of his appearance.After she was able to walk freely on the ground, she followed Song Lan like a follower every day, picked up a bamboo pole from nowhere, and played with it, having a great time.

Song Lan didn't bother her either. Although he couldn't speak, he took good care of A-Qing and let her go.He himself can not eat or sleep, but A-Qing can't, and he doesn't know why she loves sweets so much, she keeps saying "Tangtang" all the time.

Song Lan felt sorry for her, and after nine days of calming her soul, she took her down the mountain, and took out the copper coins for her to choose by herself.

A-Qing was naturally happy, and ran into a shop with her skinny body bouncing around.Song Lan waited outside for a long time but no one came out. Just as she was about to take a step, she suddenly heard the sound of panicked footsteps inside.He immediately flew in, but saw A-Qing lying on the ground with a pale face, and a guy next to him was at a loss. Seeing someone coming in, he thought it was the little girl's family, so he wanted to say that he had nothing to do with him.

When I looked up, I saw the man who came in was tall and tall, his face was withered and stiff, and he was even less like a living person than the one on the ground, so he fainted with a strange scream.

Song Lan hugged A-Qing by the waist and left quickly, and hurried back to the ruined temple.He also couldn't understand why A-Qing suddenly broke out with soul-leaving disease, so he could only perform a reassurance technique for her first.

Fortunately, the technique was performed in time, and A-Qing woke up after a while, shedding a line of tears before she could open her eyes.The clenched fist was slightly loosened, revealing a small round candy.

"Prince Daoist! Priest Daoist! Woohoo, Priest Daoist!..." A-Qing hugged her shoulders and said Xiao Xingchen's name aloud.

Song Lan never thought that a piece of candy would actually stimulate A-Qing to recall some past events. Seeing the girl cry more and more saddened, she had to pinch the back of her head.A-Qing held the candy, and passed out again with tears in her eyes.

Waking up again, A-Qing seemed to have changed a lot.She spoke more fluently, but she no longer smiled as much as she did in the first few days.She still followed Song Lan, just like she followed Xiao Xingchen back then.

The candy she brought back from the mountain was carefully wrapped in paper by her. Song Lan made her a small cloth bag and packed it so that she could carry it with her.

A-Qing was illiterate, and Song Lan could not speak. The communication between the two of them depended on gestures and guesswork.As time passed, A-Qing could understand the meaning of Song Lan's simple hand gestures.

Maybe it was because Xue Yang tortured and killed her in her previous life. Although A-Qing couldn't fully recall the past, her remorse for her own weakness was deeply rooted.She desperately hopes that she can become stronger, at least not to be a drag on others.

A-Qing's background is poor, she doesn't understand anything, so she naturally learns slowly.But she was hardworking and narrow-minded, so she tore up a lot of small slips of paper, crookedly copied half a sentence of the Heart Sutra written by Song Lan to her, and then went to the town to ask someone to teach her how to read.

Although her appearance has changed a lot, her quick-witted and sweet-natured temperament has not changed, and she will ask several times if she can't remember once.In less than half a year, I have recognized all the characters in the Heart Sutra, and practice hard whenever I have free time.

Seeing that she was working hard, Song Lan did not hesitate to teach her, and Night Hunting also changed from one person to two people.One day, he deliberately left a low-level corpse for A-Qing to practice.A-Qing is the first to hunt, she is nervous but not afraid, her shots are steady and accurate, but she lacks ruthlessness.If Song Lan hadn't been by her side, she would have been seriously injured.

Song Lan pointed to her red and swollen arm, then pointed to her heart, and asked her if she was afraid.

A-Qing was still trembling, the dagger in his hand was dripping with foul-smelling black liquid.After the crisis passed, the calmness she had pretended disappeared, and she almost lost her grip on the dagger.

Song Lan didn't urge her, but stood quietly and waited for her to answer.

How not to be afraid?A-Qing pinched the candy hanging by her waist, and looked up at Song Lan's chest.There was another spirit lock bag next to his body, and Xiao Xingchen's remnant soul was still sleeping inside.If you are afraid, you will not be afraid anymore.

A-Qing's eyes no longer wavered, she firmly shook her head at Song Lan, "Don't be afraid! I still have to wait for the Taoist priest to wake up and praise me for growing up!"

Song Lan nodded, turned around and led A-Qing back and forth into the darkness.
